The Wicked Witch of the East

The costume is Dorothy, but it was brisk and breezy out, so we had to add the new little-red-riding cape.

Didn't have a house available to drop on her so the sofa had to do

This is my version of the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. He is hand sculpted out of high quality Polymer clay over a strong wire armature. He stands 6.5 inches tall. There are no molds used in any of my sculptures

I made this cake for a friends birthday, her fancy dress party had a the theme of musicals and I knew that Sam and her family were all going as characters from the Wizard of Oz.. With Sam going as Dorothy. This was the first 12 inch Madeira cake I have ever baked, I think ensuring it was evenly baked was the most stressful part. The cake was vanilla madeira sponge with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream filling. The cake was then covered in sugarpaste and I used a mixture of modelling paste and flowerpaste for the figures. The birthday girl was really pleased with the result

Wizard of Oz.

 

This was a pretty hard week for me...mostly because I had so many ideas floating around and just couldn't figure out which one to do...I tried a few but none turned out they way I liked. So I was sitting and watching TV with my kids and my daughter was playing with her "Toto". I immediately asked if I could borrow it and went to start shooting! I love when inspiration hits! This was one of my favorite movies growing up...as well as now!

I wore these shoes at my wedding, September 6, 2008. Ever since I was a small child, I knew I wanted to wear 'ruby slippers' when I got married and I did!

The necklace and my Ruby Slippers that I wear for the second half of the Sing-Along Messiah, with my (very heavy!) score and my MAC Viva Glam palette.

 

I brought Gloomy Bear along as a mascot.

 

I made these Ruby Slippers back in 2003 and I love being able to take them out to wear them. They have become an annual Messiah tradition for me.

Yes, I know that the slippers in the book are silver. Ruby just looks so cool against yellow.

 

True story. I took this photo while walking home from the girl's school yesterday. I had been trying to figure out how to combine the two themes when I noticed the midline in the street. In a fit of lunacy, I pulled off my shoes, ran into the road, dropped book and wallet, snapped the picture, picked my stuff back up, and ran back just before the next wave of cars started through. Normally I plan this type of thing for a not so busy street. Also, I didn't touch my camera again for the rest of the day. So this qualifies as a one shot wonder. . . I never manage that.

 

WH - What's in your wallet?

Almond Milk, my moho hair (custom made by Poupée Mécanique Leo and a tiny bit by me) is modeling Dorothy Gale outfit from Wizard of Oz. I am dubbing this Malibu Dorothy because of Almond's complexion.;)

 

Dress, hair bows, socks and shoes in the set. The shoes are made by JemGirl.

 

I am going to bring four of these to Seattle.

We’re putting our annual craft club exhibition up tomorrow, so before “Dorothy” heads off to the library to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz film and the 100th anniversary of the author’s Oz stories being published as a complete collection, I took her for a little walk down the yellow brick path at the bottom of our estate. Her blouse is an adapted and combined version of two patterns - mainly Keepers Dolly Duds ‘Train Station’ with a collar from Pemberley Threads ‘Emma’ (I think?). I used Crab Apples Sassy Traditional shoe pattern without the strap, and as for the pinafore... I just made it up as I went!

Eu adorei esses esmaltes da Del Sol! haha. Os Del Sol são diferentes dos Mood Struck, eles só mudam quando expostos ao Sol e mudam inteiramente e não como os Mood que eu ficava de francesinha.

 

A cor do Ruby Slipper é vermelha (ver primeira foto abaixo), mas como eu coloquei o Sorvete como base, ele fica um pink bem bonito!

 

Ele só muda completamente quando o Sol está forte, quando ele tá ao ar livre, mas na somba, ele muda quase nada.

 

Eu já tinha testado no pé, mas não bati fotos porque quando eu tentei coloquei um esmalte corretivo por baixo e ficou UÓ, mas com esse ficou lindo *-*

 

E aí o que vocês acharam?

Sixteen year-old Judy Garland wore these sequined shoes as Dorothy in the 1939 film classic, The Wizard of Oz. In the original book by L. Frank Baum, Dorothy’s magic slippers are silver; for the Technicolor movie, they were changed to ruby red to show up more vividly against the yellow-brick road. One of several pairs used during filming, these size-five shoes are well-worn, suggesting they were Garland’s primary pair for dancing scenes.

 

Thanks for the Memories: Music, Sports and Entertainment History, an ongoing exhibition rotates a display of iconic and well-loved artifacts that mirror the ways music, sports and entertainment have played major roles in U.S. life, shaping our national memory and often defining what is American to the nation and the world.

The museum, which first opened in 1964 as the Museum of History and Technology, is located on the National Mall in one of the last structures designed by McKim, Mead & White. It was renamed in 1980, and closed for a 2-year, $85 milliomn renovation by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP from 2006 to 2008.

An image from my wife's camera. CW's Halloween costume. I suppose you can guess who she was. BTW, CW and I watched the movie last night and (leepin' lizards) Dorothy's socks were blue!!!

 

It was easy to code Kardashian’s pregnancy in the same manner as her career — especially when it played out in near-synchronization with that of the Duchess of Cambridge, popularly known as Kate Middleton. As novelist and cultural critic Hilary Mantel explains, “Kate seems to have been selected for her role of princess because she was irreproachable: as painfully thin as anyone could wish, without quirks, without oddities, without the risk of the emergence of character.” She was, plainly put, incredibly, wonderfully, perfectly palatable. Fashion scholar Maureen Brewster points out that Middleton’s style “relied heavily upon knee-​-length dresses cut in A‑line with Empire waistlines” that “also displayed her as very clearly slim despite her growing bump, further establishing her pregnancy as a fit and fashionable performance.” ―Anne Helen Petersen

A pair of "ruby slippers" worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 film, "The Wizard of Oz."

 

The slippers were designed by Adrian (aka Gilbert Adrian), MGM's chief costume designer. Adrian originally designed shoes with an Arabian look and heavy red beads to imitate rubies. When producers felt this was inappropriate for a Kansas farm girl, Adrian designed a more sedate pair of shoes (using 2,300 red sequins for each shoe). Butterfly-shaped red leather bows covered in red sequins were added to each shoe just two weeks before shooting.

 

At least six and possibly seven pairs of shoes were made. The ruby slipper were probably manufactured in-house at MGM. The shoes are white silk pumps from the Innes Shoe Company in Los Angeles. The shoes were dyed red. Burgundy-colored organza (a sheer silk fabric) overlays were then sewn to the upper and the heel. The sequins were darker than those used today, because bright red sequins would have appeared orange on film stock of that era. A large rectangular red glass jewel was placed on each flute of the bow, with another put on the knot itself. Dark-red bugle beads were sewn to the bows, and the bows outlined in red glass rhinestones in silver settings. The bow itself was made of red strap leather.

 

Three pairs of the slippers had orange felt glued to their soles to deaden noise.

 

Little actual documentation exists about which pair of shoes Garland wore, and when. She probably used only a single pair during filming, wearing replacement shoes as the main ones lost sequins or had to be repaired. If this is true, then the pair at the Smithsonian Institution is this pair.
